Terrorist Shouting ‘ALLAHU AKBAR’ Attacks Soldiers at the Louvre, Gets a Stomach Full of Lead

A terrorist in Paris took a machete to the Louvre and tried killing some soldiers standing post there. They lit his a** up! If only France woke up and started arming their citizens too.

He was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is the greatest’ – according to the Paris chief of police, and reportedly had paint bombs in his backpack.
